Following another year of record growth, creative agency isobel has appointed Rob Forshaw and Daryl Fielding as non-execs to support the agency’s senior team as they look to further accelerate their growth in 2017.

The agency has delivered strong campaigns for Savills, Danepak, David Lloyd, Maoam, Kelly’s and Hammerson and win new briefs from the likes of fab, [yellow tail] and Prezzo in 2016. Combined these have led the agency to a record £6million turnover.

The former founder and CEO of Grand Union (part of FullSIX), has worked with many brands but also has experience with challenger brands, such as Black Cow, Double Dutch and Cookoo.

Fielding, who is currently building up a consulting and NED portfolio, is joining forces with isobel to share her 20 years of experience in the advertising industry (with career highlights including Dove’s ‘Campaign for Real Beauty’) followed by senior client roles as commercial director for Independent newspapers, VP marketing for Mondelez and director of brand marketing at Vodafone Fielding brings a to the world of client/agency relationships.

Paul Houlding, CEO of isobel says, “We’ve had a couple of exceptional years winning new business and doing great work for clients across all media.  We are hungry to do more and build on our integrated offer. Making the decision to bring Rob and Daryl on board was easy. Their combined knowledge and expertise offer us a fantastic way to fast-track our growth but keep our feet firmly on the ground. I am confident that, with their support, we can accelerate our growth even more.”
